Am I paranoid or just batshit crazy?

Do the Republicans/Trump Campaign/Vlad Daddy have a data base of Democratic voters
names and home addresses and have they passrd that info onto their people inside the USPS?

Now, I know that the USPS shut down/slow downs have targeted blue voting areas* but
have "they" micro targeted it down to individual persons and or homes?

* Columbus, OH is #1 in country. My hometown.

Any bad ideas you have about the Republicans/Trump Campaign/Vlad Daddy are probably far less awful than reality. Put nothing past them.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean you're not being followed.

And no, you're not batshit crazy. We've got plenty to be paranoid about.

And a sorting machine can be told to "kick out" mail for an individual address.

And the scariest thing is a single person can go into the system and tag an address for no delivery.

And the programming of the sorting machines can be accessed through the internet.

So a single individual, if they had the knowledge, could go into the system (from within or without) and foul deliveries up at will.

What makes this so insidious is that the Postal Employees would not even know it was happening.

Your Carrier, for example, is not holding up your mail. Your mail is not getting to him, or possibly not even getting to your local Office.
